Hi Cory

Your "Clock Timer" indicator looks interesting. How does it work and where can I find it please? Thank you.

Hi Dorschden

I really like your PA Swing indicators!!

I'm playing with it to create a DT/DB strategy, ie replacing the suggested code "PriceSwingRelation" with "DoubleBottom" and "DoubleTop". Instead of triggering minimal trades based on DoubleBottom and DoubleTop, lots of other trades were triggered!? Guess I must have coded it wrong and appreciate your guidance. Thank you.

Beth


 
Code
if (PriceActionSwing(calcMode, calcSize, dtbStrength, psarAcceleration, psarAccelerationMax, 
psarAccelerationStep).DoubleBottom[0] >0)
{
debug ("Entering Long");
EnterLong(longEntryID);
DrawArrowUp("Long" + CurrentBar, true, 0, Low[0] - (4*TickSize), Color.Lime);
}

Hey Cory,

it's almost a perfect gartley, but I think the first swing low have to be lower as the second one. Anyway you make some $ with it

I automate some pattern recognition with the PAS indicator. I really like to trade pattern like this one. Maybe I make the pattern recognition public, but for now I'm not sure about this.

Hey Beth,

you must agian use the "PriceSwingRelation" and test if the value is "2" for a double bottom. You can then immediately enter the trade or you can wait until the double bottom is finished. For this you have to check for an upflip. Double top: "PriceSwingRelation[0] == -2" and "DnFlip[0] == true".
See the following code for a double bottom (not tested, but should work).

dorschden

 
Code
                            
if (PriceActionSwing(calcModecalcSizedtbStrengthpsarAcceleration,

    
psarAccelerationMaxpsarAccelerationStep).PriceSwingRelation[0] == 
    
&& PriceActionSwing(calcModecalcSizedtbStrengthpsarAcceleration,
    
psarAccelerationMaxpsarAccelerationStep).UpFlip[0] == true)
{
  
debug ("Entering Long");
  
EnterLong(longEntryID);
  
DrawArrowUp("Long" CurrentBartrue0Low[0] - (4*TickSize), Color.Lime);

Thanks Dorschden! I tried PriceSwingRelation[0] == -2/2 before the DoubleTop/DoubleBottom attempt. Did not work the way I wanted. Maybe the UpFlip/DnFlip will do the trick. I will try again. My trilion .. trillion .. thanks again for your super-mega prompt response.

Beth (grateful)

Hi Dorschden

Just a crispy note confirming your suggested code works like magic (as always)! Thank you.
